The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has zoned its 2023 Presidential ticket to the South while the Chairman of the party in the March 26 convention will come from the North and via a consensus.
This was disclosed by Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-rufai in an interview with State House correspondents after a meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and APC governors on Tuesday in Abuja.
The Kaduna governor stated that the President and the governors agreed on the zoning formula for all the six geopolitical zones ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The Chairman of Progressives Governors Forum and governor of Kebbi state, Atiku Bagudu said that the party’s next chairman would emerge from consensus.
According to Bagudu, the APC has chosen past chairmen such as Bisi Akande, John Oyegun and Adams Oshiomhole based on consensus and it would not be strange to do so this time around.
He also said that Buhari has okayed the March 26 National Convention date and agreed to the current timetable as released by the Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee on Monday.
Bagudu maintained that the governors are united over these matters and will forge ahead with preparations for the March 26 National Convention.
